I have recently purchased a 1,415,3XX 1903 action for use in a future custom rig. This action is well within the nickel steel production but the bolt marking are of question for me. The bolt has a swept handle and is marked BF 46. I'm far less concerned with originality(and price too I guess) but would like to know what sort of steel this bolt was made from? I haven't received the action yet and can only work on the photos on gunbroker. I would like to chamber this rifle in .257 AI, most likely a Kreiger CM barrel. The stock Ill use is still in the thought process. Any comments as to this type of action are appreciated.
